Four Natural and
Inexpensive Cancer Remedies That Have Worked For Thousands

Section 1; The Cause

This document will present to
you a radically new concept: One of the reasons that you have cancer is that
you are infected with a parasite (an intestinal fluke). Now, presented with
this hard-to-believe information, I suggest that you do one of two things:
either snort in disgust at this ridiculous concept and fling this document
over your shoulder, or keep an open mind and read on.

For those of you who are
still with me now, this document is meant to be a concise and brief
explanation of cancer therapies which have worked for thousands of cancer
sufferers. The remedies suggested in this document are simple and
inexpensive (perhaps why you will not hear about them from the medical
establishment).

How can it be that a parasite
causes cancer? First of all, unknown to most of us, most people have one or
more parasites in their bodies. We got them from running barefoot as
children, from eating undercooked meat, from eating improperly washed fruits
and vegetables, and from handling our pets. One of these parasites is an
intestinal fluke. It's scientific name is Fasciolopsis buskii. It is quite
small. Normally this fluke lives where it is supposed to live, in our
intestinal tract. There it does little noticeable harm. But sometimes they
also invade other organs or parts of your body. There they do a great deal
of harm. When the flukes establish themselves there, they can cause cancer.

When, for example, a person's
liver becomes infested with these intestinal flukes, the flukes cause a
growth factor to appear which is called ortho-phospo-tyrosine. For brevity I
shall refer to it as "ortho". This ortho has a normal function in the body
of causing cells to divide. There may be thousands of the flukes in a
heavily infested liver. All of them are busy devouring your body fluids and
nutrients while spewing forth their waste which further contaminates your
liver. This causes the ortho to go haywire, dividing cells where it
shouldn't. Thus you develop cancer in your liver.

Section 2; Why Haven't You
Been Told This Before?

Now that you have survived my
first shocking statement (about the parasites!), I now present my other
shocker. You are not told the truth about the effectiveness of some cancer
therapies because of the business implications. You see, cancer is big
business. And the big businesses that control the health care market protect
their profits and interests. What many of us (myself included) have great
difficulty accepting is that perhaps the medical establishment has placed a
higher priority on profit making than they have curing cancer. This is hard
to believe. It was for me. It is for others. I have many times spoken with
cancer suffers who could not fathom that the institutions which they had
trusted all of their lives would let them die in order to make more money. I
appreciate their dilemma.

Many people, forced by the
ravages of their steadily worsening cancer to choose whether or not to
follow an alternative approach, elect not to. That is their choice, and I
respect them for that. However I believe very strongly that it was important
for them to have this choice. And that is the purpose of this document: to
present this information to you so that you may have a choice. This is a
fundamental right which is guaranteed to us by our beloved Constitution.

Some uncomfortable
information is as follows: The largest industry in this country is the
petrochemical industry. The second largest industry is cancer. Cancer is a
$3.4 billion industry in this country. When a simple and inexpensive remedy
for cancer exists, it threatens the livelihood of some very powerful
institutions and groups of people. They then apply political pressure. As an
example, the AMA has the largest lobbying group in Washington. Why do our
own doctors need the the largest lobbying effort to effect the legislation
which governs us? This results in great pressure being placed on government
agencies such as the FDA. The Food and Drug Administration is staffed with
competent and dedicated people. But the lobbying results of the American
Medical Association and the pharmaceutical companies have resulted in rules
and regulations which are patently unfair, and result in natural healing
modalities being discriminated against. For example, when cures for cancer
which contain herbs or other natural ingredients are presented to the FDA
for approval, the FDA cannot consider them because it is only allowed to
approve drugs. This "Catch 22" means that you will never see an alternative
approach to curing cancer approved by them. In addition, hundreds of
millions of dollars are needed to fund the many studies which are required
for FDA approval.

Only the large pharmaceutical
companies can play in this game.

What about your doctor? Your
doctor places his career in jeopardy if he ever recommends a non-drug
approach (non-FDA approved) to curing your cancer. At the turn of the
century, the same monied interests which owned the major drug companies
established the American Medical Association (AMA). While we were told that
the AMA was our protector against quackery, the AMA quietly but effectively
launched a campaign to eradicate all approaches to medicine which competed
with the use of drugs (allotropic medicine). Thus natureopathy, herbal
medicine, and many other modalities faded from view.

Meanwhile the AMA also
quietly but steadily influenced the curriculums of of the medical schools so
that most doctors today are for the most part only taught a drug approach to
healing. As an example, one doctor told me that, during his eight years of
medical study, he received only four hours of nutrition training, So it
isn't that your doctor is a bad guy. On the contrary, he or she is probably
very hard working and dedicated. It is just that the system is just as
aligned against him as it is against you when it comes to alternative
approaches to medicine.

Some doctors are fighting
this system. My hero is Dr. David G. Williams of PO Box 929, Ingram, Texas
78025. He publishes a fantastic newsletter called Alternatives for the
Health Conscious Individual. I highly recommend this newsletter. Dr.
Williams explains the medical establishment's control very succinctly: he
says that if there is an effective cure that is inexpensive, and cannot be
controlled by the AMA or the drug companies, you are not going to hear about
it from your family doctor or the government.

Statistics support this
shocking situation. The US spends more (much more) than any other country on
its health systems. Yet we rank 79th in terms of overall health. How can
this be?

Section 3: I Want Some Proof!

This document is too brief
and concise to contain testimonials or other evidence that my assertion that
cancer is caused by a parasite. However this information is available. One
good source is the 502 page document The Cure For All Cancers by Dr. Hulda
Regehr Clark. This document may be purchased for $19.95 from any good
document store. This document contains 100 case histories and is crammed
with valuable and informative details.

Section 4; Why Cancer Locates
Where It Does

Why does one person develop
cancer in the lungs, and another person develop cancer in the prostate
gland? It is because the intestinal flukes have spread from the intestinal
tract to this area. They do so because this area is weakened. Generally,
parasites thrive much better in a weakened organism. This area of the body
is weakened because it has one or more of the following problems:

a. lost its immune power

b. accumulated a heavy dosage
of heavy metals

c. accumulated a large dosage
of toxins

d. weakened because of
improper nutrition

e. not supplied with a
sufficient amount of oxygen.

f. existence of too many
free-radicals.

For example, let us take the
situation where a man's prostate gland has accumulated a large amount of
heavy metals such as mercury, lead and arsenic. Also, PCBs have accumulated
there, along with the insecticides and pesticides he has accumulated in his
body over his lifetime. All of these contaminating poisons will place stress
on this part of his body.

In addition, this man's
overall immune system is low as a result of a lifetime's abuse of his body.
He has eaten too many processed foods, and as a result the cells of his body
lack certain minerals, vitamins and nutrients which they need in order to
perform properly. His life has been at times too stressful, resulting in an
overactive adrenal system which has become stressed.

A lack of sufficient fiber in
his diet has resulted in a buildup in his large intestine (colon) of an
impenetrable lining of undigested food deposits. This lining has prevented
his blood system from performing its job of expelling toxins and wastes
through the walls of the colon so they can be expelled from the body. As a
result, his blood system, unable to expel the toxins and wastes, must carry
them around in the body as it performs its work. The problem created here is
that this reduces the amount of oxygen the blood can carry to nourish the
cells of the body. Deprived of the oxygen supply they need for proper
health, the cells of the body become weakened.

Free radicals also play a
part. What is a free radical? A free radical is a scavenger in your body
which is caused by sunlight, radiation, pollution, harmful chemicals, food
additives, tobacco smoke, and stress. Free radicals cause tremendous damage
to virtually every kind of tissue in your body, leading to cancer and many
other ills.

As a result of all of the
above, the intestinal flukes have determined that this man's prostate gland
is weak, and they select it as a new home. Cancer of the prostate will
eventually follow.

Section 5; Solutions

We propose the following
solutions to get rid of your cancer:

1. Kill all of the intestinal
flukes in your body. Then the ortho-phospo-tyrosine will disappear.

2. Remove the heavy metals
from your body.

3. Remove the toxins from
your body.

4. Build up the body's immune
system.

5. Purify your blood so that
sufficient oxygen is supplied to all parts of your body.

6. Destroy the excess
free-radicals in your body.

This document will provide
specific suggestions on how to accomplish the above utilizing herbal
parasite remedies, Essiac (a herbal remedy), Pycnogenol (a pine bark extract
in tablet form), and Kombucha tea. All are natural remedies and all are
inexpensive.

It is suggested that you may
take all four remedies at the same time. They do not interfere with each
other.

In addition, you may wish to
seek further information from other sources about how to:

2. Improve your diet and
eating habits so that your body maintains a permanent level of proper
nourishment so that the cells which make up your body are restored to good
health.

Suggestion One: Natural
Herbal Parasite Remedies

The Native Americans knew
that their bodies needed to be periodically cleansed of parasites. So did
the early pioneers, who brought European remedies with them. Some of us can
still remember our grandmothers each Spring giving us a big spoonful of
molasses and sulfur or molasses and turpentine. What a taste! But it did
apparently do the job. Somewhere along the way this ancient knowledge has
been forsaken.

There are drugs you can take
for parasites. However each drug works for only one or two types of
parasites. It is much better to follow the herbal remedies we are going to
present here, because these remedies will get rid of all of the parasites in
your body. And they are inexpensive and not difficult to follow.

The three herbs are Black
Walnut Hulls, Wormwood, and Cloves. Used together, they are effective
against over 100 different types of parasites. The Black Walnut Hulls and
the Wormwood will kill the adult parasites. The Cloves will kill the eggs
and tiny developmental stage parasites so that you are not quickly
reinfected.

Black Walnut Hulls are taken
as a tincture (made by soaking the hulls in grain alcohol). In this regard,
many of the Black Walnut tinctures sold in health food stores are made using
water, and they are not potent enough. So we recommend that you purchase
your extract from Kroeger Herb Products, 805 Walnut St., Boulder CO 80302,
Tel: 800 225 8787. You will need only one 1 oz. bottle. You will also need
two bottles of 80 Wormwood capsules each, and about 100 capsules of cloves.

These can also be purchased
from Kroeger Herbal Products, or you can buy them at your local herb shop or
health food store.

Take these until you have run
out. This should do the job. It wouldn't be a bad idea to repeat this
regimen once a year from now on, to prevent reinfection.

An alternative approach: In
her documents The Cure For All Cancers, The Cure For All Diseases, and The
Cure For HIV And AIDS, Dr. Hulda R. Clark describes in specific detail how
she discovered how to build an inexpensive electronic gadget which will
destroy all parasites, viruses and bacteria in your body. She named this
device "The Zapper". She gives directions on how to build the device using
parts which can be found at Radio Shack. How does it work? On page 15 of her
document The Cure For All Illness, she states "Any positive offset frequency
kills all bacteria, viruses and parasites simultaneously, given sufficient
voltage, 5 to 10 volts, duration of seven minutes and frequency between 10
and 500,000 Hz." The Zapper does this.

For those of you, such as
myself, who wish to try this device, but are not electronically inclined,
the device can be purchased for $60.00 from Natural Heritage Ent., 4524
Curry Ford Rd., Suite 530, Orlando FL 32812. Natural Heritage offers a 30
day money back guarantee. I have personally used the device with great
effectiveness. In the long run I found it cheaper and easier to use the
device than to take the herbal approach. I plan to "zap" myself every three
months or so, to keep parasites from getting resettled in my body. The
treatments are painless. But you will probably experience fatigue for
several days after using the machine, as your body diverts its energy to
expelling the dead parasites, viruses, and bacteria.

Suggestion Two:

"Essiac" the Indian Herbal
Remedy From Canada

Essiac has a proven track
record of curing thousands of cancer. Among its many reported properties, it
kills parasites in your body, detoxifies the body, removes heavy metals, and
it builds up the immune system. It has also been found effective as a
treatment for AIDS, lupus, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, and many
other illnesses. That such a simple remedy exists, is so widely unknown, and
continues to be ignored by the mainstream medical establishment, is an
amazing story.

The Essiac Story:

Rene Caisse was a nurse in
Canada. In 1923 she observed that one of her doctor's patients, a woman with
terminal cancer, made a complete recovery. Inquiring into the matter, Rene
found that the woman had used a herbal remedy given to her by an Ojibway
indian herbalist. Rene visited the indian medicine man, and he gladly and
freely presented her with his tribe's formula.

He explained to her that the
Ojibway used their tonic both for spiritual balance and body healing. The
formula consisted of four common herbs. They were blended and cooked in a
fashion which caused the concoction to have a greater curative power than
any of the four herbs themselves. The four herbs were Sheep Sorrel, Burdock
Root, Slippery Elm Bark, and Rhubarb Root.

With her doctor's permission,
Rene began to administer the herbal remedy to other terminal cancer patients
who had been given up by the medical profession as incurable. Most
recovered.

Rene then began to collect
the herbs herself, prepare the remedy in her own kitchen, and to treat
hundreds of cancer cases.

She set up a clinic in
Bracebridge, Ontario where she administered the herbal remedy free to all
who sought her help. She found that Essiac, as she named the herbal remedy,
could not undo the effects of severe damage to the life support organs. In
such cases, however, the pain of the illness was alleviated and the life of
the patients was extended longer than predicted. In the other cases, where
the life support organs had not been severely damaged, cure was complete,
and the patients lived another 35 or 40 years. Some are still alive today.

Rene selflessly dedicated
herself to helping these patients. She continued to treat hundreds of
patients from her home. She did not charge for her services. Donations were
her only income. They barely kept her above the poverty line. Over the years
word of her work began to spread. The Canadian medical establishment did not
take kindly to this nurse administering this remedy directly to anyone with
cancer who requested her help. Thus began many years of harassment and
persecution by the Canadian Ministry of Health and Welfare. Word of this
struggle was carried throughout Canada by newspapers.

The newspaper coverage of
Rene's work began to make her famous. Word was also spread far and wide by
the families of those healed by Essiac. Eventually, the Royal Cancer
Commission became interested in her work. They undertook to study

Essiac.

In 1937 the Royal Cancer
Commission conducted hearings about Essiac. Eventually the Canadian
Parliament, prodded by the newspaper coverage and the widespread support
generated for Rene by former patients and grateful families, voted in 1938
on legislation to legalize the use of Essiac. Fifty-five thousand signatures
were collected on a petition presented to the Parliament. The vote was
close, but Essiac failed by three votes to be approved as an officially
sanctioned cure for cancer.

The complete story of Rene
Caisse's life and struggles is told in a document written by Dr.Gary Glum
entitled The Calling of An Angel. Copies can be obtained from Silent Walker
Publishing, PO Box 80098, Los Angeles CA 90080. The document tells of the
documented recovery of thousands of cancer patients who had been certified
in writing by their doctors as incurable. Rene continued her work for 60
years. She died in 1978. Rene had entrusted her formula to several close
friends, one of whom passed the formula along to Dr. Glum.

Of interest is that, in the
1960s, Rene Caisse worked with the well known Brusch Clinic in
Massachusetts. Dr. Charles A. Brusch was the personal physician for
President John F. Kennedy. After 10 years of research about Essiac, Dr.
Brusch made the following statement: "Essiac is a cure for cancer, period.
All studies done at laboratories in the United States and Canada support
this conclusion".

What It Is

Rene Caisse' a herbal formula
contains four commonly occurring herbs:

Sheep Sorrel (Rumex
acetosella).

The leaves of young Sheep
Sorrel plants were popular as a cooking dressing and as an addition to
salads in France several hundred years ago. Indians also use Sheep Sorrel
leaves as a tasty seasoning for meat dishes. They also baked it into their
bread. Thus it is both an herb and a food.

Sheep Sorrel belongs to the
buckwheat family. Common names for Sheep Sorrel are field sorrel, red top
sorrel, sour grass and dog eared sorrel. It should not be confused with
Garden Sorrel. (Rumex acetosa).

Sheep Sorrel grows wild
throughout most of the world. It seeks open pastures, rocky areas, and the
shoulders of country roads. It is considered to be a common weed throughout
the U. S. The entire Sheep Sorrel plant may be harvested to be used in
Essiac. Or, just the leaves and stems may be harvested, and this allows the
plants to be "reharvested" later. The plant portion of the Sheep Sorrel may
be harvested throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Harvest the leaves and
stem before the flowers begin to form, since at this stage, all of the
energy of the plant is in the leaves.

Burdock Root (Arctium lappa).

The roots, young stems, and
seeds of the Burdock plant are edible. Young stalks are boiled to be eaten
like asparagus. Raw stems and young leaves are eaten in salads. Parts of the
Burdock plant are eaten in China, Hawaii, and among the Native American
cultures on this continent. It is then, both a herb and a food.

The Burdock is a member of
the thistle family. Remember the last time you cleaned cockleburrs from your
clothing after a sojourn in the woods or meadow? Chances are, you had run up
against this very friendly and helpful plant, you just didn't know it! It is
a common pasture weed throughout North America. It prefers damp soils.

The first years the Burdock
plant produces only green leafy growth. It is during the second year that it
produces the long sturdy stems with annoying burrs.

The root of the Burdock plant
is harvested. It is harvested from only the first year plants. The roots are
about an inch wide, and up to three feet long. As with the Sheep Sorrel, the
roots should only be harvested in the Fall when the plant energy is
concentrated in the roots. And again, purchase your roots only from a
reliable supplier.

Slippery Elm (Ulcus fulva).

The inner bark of the
Slippery Elm tree has a long history of use as a food supplement and herbal
remedy. Pioneers knew of it as a survival food. The powdered bark has long
been used, and is still being used today, as a food additive and food
extender, rich in vitamin and mineral content. Thus it also is both an herb
and a food.

The Slippery Elm is a
favorite shade and ornamental tree. It is found throughout Canada and the
United States. Only the inner bark of the Slippery Elm is used to make
Essiac. Reliable supplies of Slippery Elm can be purchased in powdered form,
and this is probably easier and preferable to harvesting it yourself. Should
you wish to harvest your own Slippery Elm, strip the bark from branches,
rather than from the main trunk system of the tree so that you do not damage
the tree.

Turkey Rhubarb (Rheum
palmatum).

We have all eaten Rhubarb.
Its red, bittersweet stems are to be found in supermarket produce shelves
each Spring. We also eat rhubarb pie, jams and pudding. The Turkey Rhubarb
is a member of the rhubarb family with roots which contain a particularly
strong and desirable potency.

The Turkey Rhubarb grows in
China. The roots are harvested when the plants are at least six years old.
This imported product has more potency than our native rhubarb. Rene Caisse
began her Essiac work using the domestic rhubarb root, later discovering
that the imported variety was more potent and less bitter. However most of
the Turkey Rhubarb which is now imported into this country is irradiated, so
that native rhubarb is now once again the rhubarb of choice for your Essiac
blend.

Notes:

1. Should you choose to
harvest your own plants, we strongly suggest that you follow the Native
American practice of saying a short prayer to the plants before you harvest
them. Thank them for the help they will give you. We believe that your
plants, thus consecrated, will be more potent and effective. (You may think
talking to plants is a bit loony - but the power of thought and prayer is
very real!).

2. Keep your eye out for
classes on herbs and herb identification. Seek out herbalists who are
willing to educate you on plant identity, harvesting techniques, plant
drying and processing.

3. Do not collect herbs from
areas where insecticides or herbicides have been used. You want only organic
herbs!

The Formula

Note: Many of you may prefer
to purchase your Rene Caisse herbal drink in bottles. Others may wish to buy
a package of the dried herb mixture and brew their own. We provide mail
order instructions for both on page 13. The original formula, as given by
Rene Caisse, is listed below: Please note that she made large batches for
many patients, and we are reprinting here her exact instructions for a two
gallon batch, although you would probably not need such a large amount at
one time. A smaller amount is offered in the mail order dried herbal package
(see pg. 13) which makes 1/2 gallon of Essiac (which is a two week or four
week supply, depending upon whether you take it once or twice daily).

Ingredients:

52 parts: Burdock Root (cut
or dried) (parts by weight).

16 parts: Sheep Sorrel
(powdered)

1 part: Turkey Rhubarb Root
(powdered) or 2 parts native Rhubarb Root

4 parts: Slippery Elm Bark
(powdered)

This is the basic four herb
formula which was presented to the Royal Cancer Commission in 1937 and was
found by them to be a "cure for cancer". Later in her life, while working
with Dr. Charles Brusch in Massachusetts, Rene added small potentizing
amounts of four other herbs to her basic four herb formula. They were added
as follows: Kelp (2 parts), Red Clover (1 part), Blessed Thistle (1 part),
Watercress (0.4 parts). We consider the addition of these four extra herbs
optional.

Caution: All bottles and caps
must be sterilized after use if you plan to reuse them for Essiac. Bottle
caps must be washed and rinsed thoroughly, and may be cleaned with a 3%
solution of food grade hydrogen peroxide (may be purchased in health food
stores). To make a 3% solution, mix 1 ounce of 35% food grade hydrogen
peroxide with 11 ounces of sodium free distilled water. Let soak for 5
minutes, rinse and dry. If food grade hydrogen peroxide is not available,
use one half teaspoon of Clorox to one gallon of distilled water.

Instructions for Use (as
reported by Dr. Glum)

1. Keep refrigerated.

2. Shake bottle well before
using.

May be taken either cold
from the bottle, or warmed (never microwave).

As a Preventative, daily
take 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) at bedtime or on an empty stomach at least 2
hours after eating.

5. People with cancer and
other ill people may wish to twice daily take 4 tablespoons (2 ounces), once
in the morning, 5 minutes before eating, and once in the evening, at least 2
hours after eating.

b. Many people have reported
that Rene's drink works well to detoxify the body, and have taken it as a
detoxification program.

c. Precaution: Some doctors
advise against taking the herbal formula while pregnant.

Recommendation: Rene reported
that the twelve hour brewing process is essential for Essiac to have its
special powers. Essiac is now being offered to the public in pills, teabags,
and homeopathic drops. We do not recommend them. They may work, but they are
not what Rene used, nor have we seen evidence that they work.

What It Does

The components of Rene's
herbal drink interact to have an amazing effect on the human body. The
chemicals, minerals, and vitamins all act synergistically together to
produce a variety of healing agents.

Sheep Sorrel:

Sorrel plants have been a
folk remedy for cancer for centuries both in Europe and America. Sheep
Sorrel has been observed by researchers to break down tumors, and to
alleviate some chronic conditions and degenerative diseases.

It contains high amounts of
vitamins A and B complex, C,D,E,K,P and vitamin U. It is also rich in
minerals, including calcium, chlorine, iron, magnesium, silicon, sodium,
sulphur, and has trace amounts of copper, iodine, manganese and zinc. The
combination of these vitamins and minerals nourishes all of the glands of
the body. Sheep Sorrel also contains carotenoids and chlorophyll, citric,
malic, oxalic, tannic and tartaric acids.

The chlorophyll carries
oxygen throughout the bloodstream. Cancer cells do not live in the presence
of oxygen. It also:

 reduces the damage of
radiation burns

 increases resistance to
X-rays

 improves the vascular
system, heart function intestines, and lungs

 destroys parasites in the
body

 aids in the removal of
foreign deposits from the walls of the blood vessels

 purifies the liver,
stimulates the growth of new tissue

 reduces inflammation of the
pancreas, stimulates the growth of new tissue

 raises the oxygen level of
the tissue cells

Sheep Sorrel is the primary
healing herb in Essiac.

Burdock Root

For centuries Burdock has
been used throughout the world to treat illness and disease. The root of the
Burdock is a powerful blood purifier. It clears congestion in respiratory,
lymphatic, urinary and circulatory systems. It promotes the flow of bile,
and eliminates excess fluid in the body. It stimulates the elimination of
toxic wastes, relieves liver malfunctions, and improves digestion. The
Chinese use Burdock Root as an aphrodisiac, tonic, and rejuvenator. It
assists in removing infection from the urinary tract, the liver, and the
gall bladder. It expels toxins through the skin and urine. It destroys
parasites. It is good against arthritis, rheumatism, and sciatica.

Much of the Burdock Roots
curative power is attributed to its principal ingredient of Unulin, which
helps to strengthen vital organs, especially the liver, pancreas, and
spleen.

Slippery Elm Inner Bark

Slippery Elm Bark is widely
known throughout the world as a herbal remedy. As a tonic it is known for
its ability to sooth and strengthen the organs, tissues, and mucous
membranes, especially the lungs and stomach. It promotes fast healing of
cuts, burns, ulcers and wounds. It revitalizes the entire body.

It contains, as its primary
ingredient, a mucilage, as well as quantities of gallic acid, phenols,
starches, sugars, the vitamins A, B complex, C, K, and P. It contains large
amounts of calcium, magnesium, and sodium, as well as lesser amounts of
chromium and selenium, and trace amounts of iron, phosphorous, silicon and
zinc.

Slippery Elm Bark is known
among herbalists for its ability to cleanse, heal, and strengthen the body.

Rhubarb Root

Rhubarb, also a well known
herb, as been used worldwide since 220 BC as a medicine.

The Rhubarb root exerts a
gentle laxative action by stimulating the secretion of bile into the
intestines. It also stimulates the gall duct to expel toxic waste matter,
thus purging the body of waste bile and food. As a result, the liver is
cleansed, and chronic liver problems are relieved.

15. Improves the functions of
the pancreas and spleen by increasing the effectiveness of insulin.

16. Purifies the blood.

17. Increases red cell
production, and keeps them from rupturing.

18. Increases the body's
ability to utilize oxygen by raising the oxygen level in the tissue cells.

19. Maintains the balance
between potassium and sodium within the body so that the fluid inside and
outside each cell is regulated: in this way, cells are nourished with
nutrients and are also cleansed.

20. Converts calcium and
potassium oxalates into a harmless form by making them solvent in the urine.
It also regulates the amount of oxalic acid delivered to the kidneys, thus
reducing the risk of stone formation in the gall bladder, kidneys, or
urinary tract.

21. Protects against toxins
entering the brain.

22. Protects the body against
radiation and X-rays.

23. Relieves pain, increased
appetite, and provides more energy along with giving a sense of well being.

24. Speeds up wound healing
by regenerating the damaged area.

25. Increases the production
of antibodies like lymphocytes and T-cells in the thymus gland, which is the
defender of our immune system.

26. Inhibits and possibly
destroys benign growths and tumors.

27. Protects the cells
against free radicals.

Suggestion Three: Pycnogenol,
the Pine Bark Extract from France

An excess of free radicals in
a person's body causes major damage, including cancer. The best free radical
killer is Pycnogenol (pronounced pig-nodge-a-nol). Pycnogenol is a patented
antioxidant from France which is made from a pine tree bark extract.

Lets talk more about free
radicals. The normal oxygen atom in your body has four pairs of electrons.
However the effects of radiation, sunlight, air pollution, harmful
chemicals, food additives, tobacco smoke, infections and stress can rob one
of the electrons from the oxygen atom. This atom is now a free radical. It
tries to replace its lost electron by raiding other molecules.

It will rob an electron from
a molecule in a cell wall. This robbed molecule proceeds to replace its lost
electron by robbing another molecule, and a chain reaction is created. This
leads to disintegration of the cell, and opens the door to cancer and many
other ills. It also alters the DNA which damages the way in which the cells
in your body replicate. This leads to aging. Some studies suggest that these
free radicals are a major cause of aging.

How does Pycnogenol help? It
is a very powerful antioxidant. An antioxidant has extra electrons which it
can "give up" to the free radicals, thereby rendering them harmless.

I recommend Pycnogenol
because of its power. It has the ability, in a matter of a few months, to
destroy all of the excess free radicals which you have built up over a
lifetime. It is inexpensive. It is easy to locate. It comes in tablet form.
Every health food store stocks it. Dr. Lamar Rosquist recommends that you
take one mg. of Pycnogenol daily per pound of body weight during the initial
period when you are ridding yourself of all accumulated free radicals. This
means that a 200 pound man would take 200 mg. of Pycnogenol daily for the
first two or three months. Later you may wish to slack off to a lower
maintenance level dosage.

Pycnogenol is reported to
assist in the recovery of cancer, Alzheimers, arthritis, Parkinsons,
rheumatism, asthma, diabetes, stress, varicose veins, phlebitis, PMS, AIDS,
senility, M.S., chronic fatigue, stroke, circulatory and cardiovascular
problems. It has also been reported to greatly assist in limiting wrinkling
and aging of the skin. When I took Pycnogenol, I found my energy levels
dramatically boosted.

To locate a source of
Pycnogenol, I suggest that you visit one or more health food stores and
check out their supply of Pycnogenol. They may be able to offer some helpful
advice, and they may have literature available with additional information
about this antioxidant. I have even found Pycnogenol stocked in K Mart and
my local drug store.

Suggestion Four: Kombucha,
the Amazing Mushroom Tea

Years ago the Russian
government sent a team of investigators to check out why the residents of an
area in Manchuria were cancer free. The people of this area also regularly
lived to be over 100 years of age. After a two year study, the investigators
attributed the longevity and good health of these people to a yeast enzyme
tea called Kombucha. It had been part of their diet for hundreds of years.
Now the use of Kombucha is spreading like wildfire in the United States.

In an April, 1995 issue of US
Today newspaper, an article about Kombucha tea stated that five to six
million Americans were drinking Kombucha tea daily. I am sure that this
number of Kombucha drinkers has grown since then. It is inexpensive, I find
it fun to make, and most people enjoy the taste. I keep several one gallon
"sun tea" jars of Kombucha brewing at all times. I keep the jars prominently
sitting on my kitchen counter, where they become a conversation piece for my
visitors.

During an August 1995 showing
of the TV program Entertainment Tonight which covered Kombucha, it was
mentioned that the Hollywood stars Cher, Susan Sarandon, Martin Landau, Meg
Ryan, and Linda Evans were all Kombucha drinkers. In addition, Anjelica
Huston, Lily Tomlin, Morgan Fairchild, and Rita Coolidge are said to be
Kombucha fans. It is reported that Kombucha cleanses the blood, stops
cancer, increases energy levels, reverses hardening of the arteries, reduces
high blood pressure, boosts T-cell counts, removes wrinkles, thickens the
hair, and relieves headaches. Studies in California report that HIV patients
drinking Kombucha do not progress into Aids. Other testimonials state that
it reverses graying hair, stops PMS, reverses the symptoms of multiple
sclerosis, and shrinks prostates.

Kombucha is known to provide
the liver with glucuronic acid, a substance which the liver uses to detoxify
our bodies. In this manner, Kombucha helps the liver to perform its critical
function of "binding up" toxic substances so they can be carried away by the
blood and dispelled from our bodies.

Kombucha is fun to make,
tastes great, is cheap, and if you take it daily, you too may live to become
100 years old!
